ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

Renaissance uniquely focuses on developer interests because it is uniquely run by developers themselves. We're not an ad network, we're not an incubator, we're not a platform company, we're not investors, we're not a "picks & shovels" service provider, we're just a group of developers who are getting together to help each other get better at the business of apps. Organizers Tim Burks and Bill Dudney are both career software developers with commitment both to apps and to community. Burks has organized the Silicon Valley iOS Developers' Meetup since 2008, and in 2010 and 2011, Dudney worked at Apple as an Application Frameworks Evangelist, where his duties included planning and coaching a large part of the sessions at Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference. Both are actively involved in many individual projects and consult for companies ranging from two-person startups to multibillion-dollar multinationals.
